I almost killed an entire litter, feeding raw ground meat to puppies that were just weaning to food. They LOVED it, and I thought I was really doing a great job! NOPE! Puppies that young do not have the intestinal fortitude to ward off the natural bacteria in raw meat, and my ignorance almost cost those babies their little lives. Very expensive lesson learned....Raw meat in older dogs is OK, but apparently NOT in puppies. |
